Isadora Moon
Isadora Moon is a series of books by Harriet Muncaster for children aged 5–8. Each book is a stand-alone story about Isadora Moon, who is "half fairy, half vampire, totally unique!" The stories celebrate her mixed family heritage, and in February 2020, 300 bookshops and libraries in the UK celebrated "Isadora Moon Day". The first book was published in 2016; its "supernatural take on the classic 'be yourself' narrative" commenced a series that has since been translated into 30 languages and has sold over 1.2 million copies globally, 40% of which in Spain. In 2020, Kelebek Media bought rights to animate the stories and the series started airing in 2023.https://www.animationmagazine.net/2024/12/isadora-moon-brings-animated-magic-to-max-on-jan-2/ There are 22 books in the series; the latest was published in March 2025.

Isidora or Isadora is a female given name of Greek origin, derived from Ἰσίδωρος, ''Isídōros'' (a compound of Ἶσις, ''Ísis'', and δῶρον, ''dōron'': "gift of he goddessIsis"). The male equivalent is Isidore. The name survived the suppression of the worship of the Egyptian goddess Isis in the newly Christianized Roman Empire, and is, among others, the name of several Christian saints. Similar "gift" names include the Greek "Theodore" and Slavic "Bogdan" (both meaning "gift of God"), the Persian " Mithradates" ("gift of Mithras") and Datis ("gift"), and the Hebrew "Matanya" ("gift of Jah"). The Indo-European "gift" names are ultimately derived from the *''PIE'' root ''*deh₃-'', "to give". It was the ninth most popular name for baby girls in Chile in 2006.
